===Birth=== He was born c. 50 BC. His father was [[Amairgin mac Echit]] and his mother was [[Findchoem]]. His parents' marriage was barren, until Findchoem visited a [[druid]] and was advised to drink from a certain well. She took a drink from the well, swallowing a worm with it, and became pregnant. Findchoem's brother [[Cet mac Mágach]], a Connachtman, protected his sister until she gave birth to a son, Conall. Druids came to initiate the child into their religion, and prophesied that he would kill more than half of the men of Connacht, and that he would always have a Connachtman's head on his belt. Cet took the child, put him under his heel and tried to break his neck, but only damaged it, leaving his nephew with a crooked neck.<ref>Whitley Stokes (ed. & trans.), "''Cóir Anmann''", ''Irische Texte'' series 3 vol. 2, 1897, p. 393-395</ref>
